Pintoo Jigsaw Puzzle Materials and Cut Style
Cut Style
Pintoo jigsaw puzzles are grid cut which means the pieces are cut in a more systematic grid pattern. The pieces typically have straight edges and pieces will meet at all four corners.
Material
Pintoo puzzles are made from a sturdy, specially formulated plastic material. They are on the higher end of the thickness scale at 2mm (.08 inches) but on the lower end of the piece size scale at 12.7mm (.5 inches).
Benefits of Doing Jigsaw Puzzles
There are so many benefits to doing jigsaw puzzles. They’re great for keeping your brain sharp. I use them for concentration, manual dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
In addition to those skills, they help teach pattern recognition, shape sorting, color recognition, problem solving, and even patience.
Does Jen Recommend?
Yes!
I liked doing this plastic puzzle, but my hands did not. I loved the “click” when putting the pieces together, but a certain amount of force was necessary to snap the pieces in place. This might be a challenge for people with arthritis or other fine motor skill issues. Alternatively, take lots of breaks!
The pieces for this 600 piece puzzle were packaged in 3 bags. One bag for the edges, two bags for the top and bottom sections of the puzzle. I liked the funky look of the puzzle without the edges, but put them on anyway for my review.
Surprisingly a lot of people don’t like the pieces separated out when doing a puzzle. If this is something you don’t like, feel free to open all the bags and mix ’em up!
The Pintoo puzzles do not require glue. They stay snapped together and can be moved around from place to place. If you decide not to hang your puzzle you can store it flat or take it apart and store it in the box. I like to work puzzles in sections and the fact that the pieces stayed together was a huge plus.
If you like trading puzzles or even donating them, the fact that Pintoo puzzles are plastic will ensure the next person getting the puzzle will not have to worry about peeling paper, or pieces breaking. The plastic is also water resistant. If you like puzzling with a beverage, spills will clean right up!
The Coon Magic House puzzle had a fuzzy-ish appearance, which I found disappointing at first. I researched the illustrator and I believe the image quality part of the illustrative style.
